Your first finish.
A short path from a loaded plugin to an active learned finish.
Put it on the Master.
Load SCAT Sauce last on your master bus. Choose a tonal target, then play the fullest section of your track.
Give it active audio.
Press Listen and keep the track playing. Choose 15 or 30 seconds with the Listen window buttons. Listen captures active audio, then checks tone, dynamics, and the rendered loudness.
Make it yours.
Sauce automatically sets a mastering starting point after the processing check. Keep Bypass off and Amount above zero. Adjust tone, EQ, dynamics, stereo width and loudness to taste, then enable Level match and compare with Bypass.
When the finish is ready, the button becomes “Listen again.” Click it again whenever your mix needs a fresh starting point.

WINDOWS SETUP
Installer won’t open?
Match the message on your screen to the next step.
Start with the exact message.
Different Windows messages need different fixes. Choose the wording you see above, or send a screenshot to support. The current SCAT Sauce beta installer is unsigned.
- Include the full warning and any error code.
- Include your Windows version and the installer filename.
SCAT Sauce v0.5.3 is an unsigned Windows installer. Changing a ZIP or filename does not add a trusted publisher signature.
Check my downloaded installer
This optional check compares the current Windows installer’s exact size and SHA-256 checksum. The file stays on your device; it is not uploaded.
A match confirms the published bytes, not a trusted publisher signature or compatibility with your DAW. It does not remove Windows security warnings. An earlier release is a different file and will not match.

I need help with a charge or refund.+
For billing questions, a duplicate charge or a refund request, contact scatsounds@gmail.com with your SCAT purchase number or Stripe receipt reference and explain what happened. Your purchase number helps us find the record; it does not unlock a download or transfer ownership. Never send card details or passwords. Do not make another purchase to fix an existing payment or download problem.
How do I install it in Ableton Live on Windows?+
Close Live, run the same Windows installer used for FL Studio, and reopen Live. In Settings/Preferences → Plug-Ins, turn on Use VST3 Plug-In System Folders and click Rescan. Find SCAT Sauce under Plug-Ins → VST3 → SCAT Sounds. If it is missing, hold Alt while clicking Rescan for a full scan. The installer uses the standard 64-bit VST3 folder. Ableton audio and project compatibility are still awaiting host testing.
Do I need separate purchases for different DAWs?+
No. Your SCAT Sauce purchase covers the available plugin formats and future included updates. Windows uses VST3 for FL Studio and Ableton. Mac AU for Logic and Mac VST3 for FL Studio and Ableton are being prepared; Mac installers are not available from account downloads yet. In activation-enabled builds, one purchase supports up to two computers across Windows and Mac. Using multiple DAWs on the same computer and OS user shares its activation. Use your purchasing account to manage computers. These account-service limits do not replace the rights in the distributed software license.
How do I install it in FL Studio?+
Close FL Studio, run SCAT-Sauce-Setup.exe, and reopen FL. Go to Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins and Rescan previously verified plugins, then Find installed plugins. Replace an old instance with a newly loaded SCAT Sauce instance.
I pressed Listen and nothing changed.+
Play the fullest section of your track with SCAT Sauce on the master bus. Choose 15 or 30 seconds, then press Listen while the audio plays. After the processing check finishes, keep Bypass off and Amount above zero. For a reference, wait for its filename and “Reference ready,” then play your mix and press Listen.
Can I stop a Listen or reference import?+
Click the Listen button again while recording, balancing, or loading a reference. It shows Cancel when you hover over it. The previous learned finish stays active. You can start another Listen after the job stops.
Reference is asking me to import a file.+
A Reference target needs a WAV, AIFF, FLAC, or MP3. Click Choose / drop reference or drag a supported file into the plugin. The filename and status confirm loading. Play your mix and press Listen. Use at least one second of non-silent audio. A failed import keeps your previous reference and finish.
Which genre should I choose?+
Choose the target closest to the sound you want, including EDM or Dubstep. The targets are starting points. Auto suggests a tonal starting point; it does not reliably identify a musical genre. After Listen, you can change targets and compare the recalculated result.
What does Level match do?+
Use the Level match button at the top right of the plugin, next to Bypass. It is off by default and adjusts listening volume for comparison. Project reopen resets it off, and offline exports ignore it. Disable it for real-time exports.
I can’t hear the website comparison.+
Press Play, raise your device’s media volume, and check its audio output. Open “Can’t hear it? Use the standard player” beneath the comparison for the browser’s audio controls. Replay restarts the excerpt; Loop repeats the full 30 seconds while you switch versions. The original and processed render play at their own levels; the processed version includes the plugin’s loudness change. Match loudness starts off. Turn it on to lower only processed playback to the original’s loudness, or off to hear the actual louder render. The Level slider changes both together; on iPhone, use your device volume buttons. The full-level render is also available to download.
Why does SCAT Sauce add latency?+
The mastering filters and lookahead need a small processing delay: about 19 ms at common sample rates. Keep your DAW’s plugin delay compensation enabled. Bypass keeps the original audio aligned with that delay for comparison. When recording vocals or instruments you monitor live, use a monitoring path without SCAT Sauce, then add it back to finish your mix.
Is SCAT Sauce only for FL Studio?+
It is a Windows x64 VST3 effect, so your DAW must support VST3 plugins. Loading has been confirmed in FL Studio. Other host and computer combinations still need testing; contact support if you run into an issue.
How do purchases reach my account?+
Sign in or create an account before checkout. After Stripe confirms payment, the purchase appears in that account automatically. Always use the same sign-in account to download. A receipt link cannot move a purchase to another account. For an older unlinked purchase, contact support with your Stripe receipt; do not purchase again.
How do future updates work?+
SCAT Sauce updates are included with your purchase. When a new version is available, download its installer from your account or your original purchase confirmation page. Close your DAW before installing, then reopen it and run a verified plugin rescan. You can get an update whenever you are ready to install it; the plugin does not silently update during a session.

Where is my purchase download?+
After payment, Stripe returns you to the download page. Payment confirmation can take a moment. If asked to sign in, use the account from checkout; you will return to the order automatically. If your product is missing, check that account and retry before contacting scatsounds@gmail.com with your receipt reference. Do not pay a second time to fix a missing download.
